Challenges
Parents face challenges when dealing with unruly teenagers.
In such situations, parents are prepared to make every effort to help their child if they suspect their involvement in risky behaviors, battling depression, or coping with other significant problems.
Boot camps for troubled teenagers
This is one option that parents consider when seeking help for troubled teenagers.
Boot camps are inspired by military techniques and emphasize strict discipline to teach teenagers obedience to authority.
However, they are not the ideal solution for dealing with psychological and mental conditions like depression, anxiety, or adjustment disorders.
Disadvantages of boot camps for troubled teenagers
- They focus on addressing undesirable behaviors by implementing disciplinary measures, while disregarding the psychological and emotional factors that contribute to problematic behavior.
- Juvenile boot camps do not cater to teenagers struggling with emotional and mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or oppositional defiant disorder.
- They carry the potential to worsen the situation of teenagers who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a history of trauma, which can result in a deterioration of their mental well-being.

The personalized approach at Avery’s House
Care at Avery’s House:
Avery’s House operates as a Residential Treatment Center that offers specialized care for teenagers dealing with mental and emotional health problems.
Personalized Approach:
The treatment process begins by conducting a thorough evaluation of the teenager’s needs, challenges, and strengths.
Thereafter, a personalized plan is created to address the teenager’s emotional, behavioral, and psychosocial needs.
Core features of the program
Avery's House provides evidence-based treatments that consist of individual, group, and family therapy. These three treatment approaches have undergone extensive research and consistently demonstrated their effectiveness in helping teenagers to make positive and long-lasting changes in their lives.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy helps teens identify their personal stressors, conflicts, and anxieties while working to develop concrete action plans and improve their coping skills.
Group Therapy
Group therapy brings together young people who share similar experiences and challenges under the guidance of a mental health professional.
Life Skills Development
Life skills development involves teaching teens skills that will transfer to their everyday lives and help them stay mentally, socially, and psychologically healthy.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is an essential part of residential treatment. Many times, teens with significant psychological disorders have family conflicts that can be resolved through therapy with the entire family. With improved communication skills, a teen’s family can become a vital support network.

Academic support at Avery’s House ensures that teens keep making progress in their education and do not fall behind while they recover.
